ABSTRACT:
Improved implantable defibrillator electrodes and methods of implanting such electrodes are disclosed. One embodiment of the defibrillator electrodes includes a flexible conductive mesh and non-conductive mesh. Another embodiment of the defibrillator electrodes includes a flexible conductive mesh, a non-conductive mesh and an insulator therebetween. A third embodiment of the defibrillator electrode compensates for the shape of a human heart. Methods for implanting the defibrillator electrodes include rolling an electrode and inserting the rolled electrode into a subxiphoid opening while thorascopically observing the insertion and manipulation of the defibrillator electrode.
